Otakon 2012 report!

Otakon 2012!

Thursday - August 2nd, 2012 - 22:53:02

So recovering from Otakon took longer than I would’ve figured–so even though I wasn’t planning on posting a con comic since I didn’t really want to interrupt the story, my own laziness has caused this. So I apologize, but at least there’s a con comic? ^^;

So yeah, going to the con was kinda awful because there was a super epic thunderstorm that followed us across two and a half states (half of Indiana, and then all of Ohio and Pennsylvania). It was =worst= in Pennsylvania, specifically in the mountains, and that’s when our windshield wiper broke–it was the driver’s side wiper too, and it broke in such a way that the other wiper was kinda carrying while wiping….until it just flapped completely vertically right by where the mirror is. And we didn’t really want to risk damaging either further by having the passenger one continue to operate, so he went through the storm with the wipers off, in the mountains, in the dark, and only had this tiny weird little window where the vertical wiper was blocking some of the oncoming rain to see out of. It was….so terrifying. But luckily Brion’s a good driver and no one else was stupid enough to drive in the storm, so we survived! Huzzah!

Dave, Brandon, and I got super drunk on Saturday night. It was one of those funny things where we ordered a couple pitchers of Sangria, and because all of us hadn’t really eaten anything the entire day aside from a few light snacks (like, I had had some cough drops, a doughnut, and a couple pieces of chocolate from 8 am - 8 pm and the others didn’t fare much better), it only took like, 2 glasses or so for the good times to roll. I just remember there was a lot of hugging, a lot of us going “You’re awesome!” “No, YOU’RE awesome!” “You’re the MOST AWESOME!” “Let’s all hug!!” going around, as we’re all wonderfully happy drunks. Then I irritated Brion on the way home by blasting Bye Bye Bye and Katy Parry’s ET. He was…not happy XD

…Saturday was not as much fun for one Veronica. She had been feeling really weak Friday night, so we suggested she stay and sleep in saturday and re-evaluate. After being barely able to move when we were leaving, she was still fighting with us to go along, but thankfully she agreed to go back to sleep. She stayed at the hotel for the rest of the day, sadly missing out on her lifelong dream of seeing the beautiful unicorn that is Dave drunk, but she felt better sunday so that’s what’s important =3

And the girl in the last panel was super cute because when she grabbed the bucket (it was a super cute bucket of lotion, hand sanitizers and fancy chocolates!), she goes “I really hope you don’t mind, but I’m going to do something really otaku right now!” and my mind immediately jumped to like, the WORST possible things ever like, “Is she going to pull out a severed hand? Or locks of Miku’s hair? Or will she be like the weird girl at Akon who wouldn’t shut up about the jrock superstars she wanted to bang (THE most awkward 10 minutes of my life)” but no, it went from worst fears to best hopes! I love presents! As long as they’re not human bodyparts/waste/whatever. That’s gross. Also, I should really reiterate that at a con, I’m usually way more excited to meet you than you are to meet me. So don’t be shy to speak up and say you read the comic! =3
